Sonic Drive-In
Classic American drive-in restaurant with carhop service, burgers, hot dogs, and famous frozen drinks.
Sonic Drive-In brings the classic American drive-in experience to Canon City. Pull into a stall, order from the menu board, and have your food delivered right to your car by friendly carhops. It is fast food elevated by the novelty of the drive-in format. The menu covers all the expected bases: burgers, hot dogs, chicken sandwiches, and tots. But Sonic is really known for its drink menu. The selection of slushes, shakes, and specialty drinks is extensive, with flavor combinations you will not find elsewhere. The cherry limeade is practically legendary. For visitors, Sonic offers a convenient option when you want something quick between activities. Grab a burger before heading to Skyline Drive, or cool down with a slush after hiking. The drive-in format means you can eat in your car if you are on a tight schedule. Breakfast is served in the morning for those who want a quick start to their day. The breakfast burritos and toaster sandwiches provide fuel for adventure without the wait of a sit-down restaurant. Prices are reasonable and the service is quick, making this a practical choice for families or anyone who values convenience.
